Chapter 234
Princess of Gahong Ryu Honghae spoke when she saw the man who caught my attention.
“That guy is my sworn younger brother. He’s in 4th Year Class A. His name is─”
“Hayton Valois!”
When I shouted, Hayton raised the corner of his mouth in a smirk.
“It’s been a while.”
─he said.
I looked at him with an incredulous expression.
After the fall of Valois, I supported the brothers as agreed in my deal with Hayton.
While Hayton’s younger brother Nils continued to receive support as before, Hayton completely cut off contact and disappeared without a trace four years ago.
I thought that guy would do well on his own, so I didn’t bother looking into it, but it seems he was at this Academy.
I glared at Henri and Isaac.
“Why didn’t you tell me Hayton was here?”
“Just because.”
“I’m about to get angry.”
Then Isaac flinched and looked at me.
“…I didn’t want the word Valois to reach your ears.”
My brothers, who knew I had been abused by Valois in my second life, apparently didn’t want to mention Valois so I wouldn’t recall those memories.
“…Still, tell me next time, okay?”
When I said this while pouting my lips, Henri smiled gently.
“Alright.”
But something was strange.
The people from Elysiano Class who had been watching me and Henri were blinking their eyes with very surprised faces.
When I looked at them as if asking why they were acting that way, Jin, the bronze-skinned successor to the Atar Tribe chief, let out a hollow laugh.
“This guy actually knows how to smile genuinely.”
“My Henri always smiles though?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen him smile genuinely.”
“My brother always smiles genuinely. He smiles really prettily.”
When I proudly said this with my hands on my hips, Henri chuckled softly.
The people from Elysiano Class burst into laughter.
“Nothing beats having a younger sister, huh?”
“Younger sisters are naturally cute! I have a younger sister too and she’s super cute. Want to see?”
When Jin spoke, Princess of Gahong Ryu Honghae showed the pendant hanging around her neck.
“That’s not a younger sister, that’s a pendant?”
“Right. This one’s a girl. She’s a brave and spirited child who shines valiantly. Uhuhuhut. And this sapphire is a boy. Isn’t the color elegant?”
“That guy’s a pervert who treats gems like people.”
At Isaac’s words, Ryu Honghae protectively hugged her pendant and glared sharply at Isaac.
“I told you to watch your language in front of my Younger Sister! But anyway. How exactly did you get that necklace? Huh? I had my eye on Youngest.”
Well, this necklace belongs to Hope Trading Company, and Hope Trading Company is mine.
Actually, I refused it because the necklace was too expensive, but Seria secretly put it in my luggage.
She said it would be good to sell it when needed, or share it.
I was fiddling with the necklace when I asked Ryu Honghae.
“Should I give it to you?”
“…What?”
Ryu Honghae, who had paused for a moment, soon stepped back and covered her mouth.
“W-w-w-wait. A-a-are you serious? Really?”
“Yes.”
“I have a sworn sister. She gave me this Pendant and made me her sworn sibling. So I don’t have anything to give?”
“Wouldn’t this child be happier becoming Princess, no, senior’s sibling?”
When I offered the necklace, Ryu Honghae seemed deeply moved and started tearing up.
“Dubbled’s Youngest is kind, unlike his Brothers above…”
“Yes, I’m kind unlike my Older Brothers. Will you be friends with me?”
“Of course~!”
Ryu Honghae hugged me and rubbed her face all over the top of my head.
“I’ll invite you to my Mansion. Let’s have tea with the Siblings.”
Jin chuckled.
“That’s great. Honghae is a pervert, but she’s the president of Odis Women’s Association. She’s the liaison with the women’s alumni association. Javelin is also in the Odis women’s alumni association, right?”
‘That’s right, that’s right! Aunt is also an Odis graduate.’
The alumni association where aunt belongs is full of famous female People in Power.
‘Through Ryu Honghae, I can build connections not only with current students but also with graduates. Thank you, Seria!’
I felt deeply grateful to Seria and firmly grasped Ryu Honghae’s hand.
“I also have many pretty Siblings. Black pearl sibling, red beryl sibling… I’ll introduce you.”
“My goodness, I’m so excited!”
Ryu Honghae even stomped her feet in joy.
‘I won over Princess Gahong’s heart with just one necklace. Heh, got her really cheap!’
I giggled inwardly, and Ryu Honghae said with sparkling eyes.
“How about this Friday afternoon?”
“You promised to help with my Experiment on Friday afternoon.”
This was from a purple-haired Boy wearing black horn-rimmed Glasses.
It was the person I saw with Jin in front of Eliciano Conference Room last time.
“Juliet.”
Juliet?!
Shocked by Ryu Honghae’s words, I widened my eyes and stared at the Boy, no, Girl Juliet.
‘That person is the witch of Mohas Kingdom?’
I thought she was a Boy, but she must be a Girl.
Ryu Honghae groaned “Hmm.” and glanced at Juliet.
“I’ll help you next time.”
“This is the fifth time you’ve postponed it, you bastard!”
“But they say Red Beryl has a younger sister. How cute would that be?”
“Should I fold you up and down, left and right to make you cute?”
While the two were bickering, I quickly gestured to Emeline.
Emeline, who had been standing a few steps away from me and the Elysiano Class people, widened her eyes.
“Emeline!”
When I shouted because I was getting anxious, Emeline hesitantly approached me. I grabbed her shoulder and spoke to Juliet.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, senior. I’ve been respecting your reputation. Especially my friend here.”
‘Hurry up and introduce yourself.’
When I urged her with intensity in my eyes, Emeline’s face turned red as she spoke.
“E-Emeline… I pray for Princess Mohas’s well-being.”
“Not a princess. I’m illegitimate, so I received a title and got kicked out.”
Juliet casually mentioned the wound of her origins while scratching her head roughly.
“I-I’m sorry…”
“Everyone knows about it anyway.”
“Ah… yes… Um, senior. I have mentor selection priority. So, that is…”
“No.”
“…Excuse me?”
“Don’t ask me to be sworn siblings. It’s annoying to deal with objections. Red Sea, if you really want to have a party on Friday, come help with experiments even today.”
Having said that, Juliet handed her empty glass to a passing page and turned to leave.
“This much is enough to fulfill my duty. I’m leaving.”
Jin shrugged and waved her hand. As she was getting farther away, Emeline shouted.
“Why?! Why are you rejecting me? Is it because I’m a commoner?”
Juliet stopped in her tracks and only turned her head to look at Emeline.
“One more reason for rejection just got added.”
With those words, she turned her head again, and Emeline bit her lips tightly.
“Emeline…”
“…”
Seeing us fall silent, Isaac clicked his tongue.
“Juliet is originally single-minded. If you want a sworn sibling with deep knowledge in magic, I recommend Jimmy from 4th Year Class A—”
“…I will.”
Emeline, who had been hanging her head low, muttered something.
When I asked “What?”, she shouted at the top of her lungs.
“I won’t give up! Even if I die, I’ll make Senior Juliet my sworn sister!”
Juliet, who was just about to exit through the door, let out a hollow laugh.
“Go ahead and try.”
She waved her hand dismissively and completely exited through the door, while Emeline said huffily.
“I’ve made my choice, Leblaine. Now it’s your turn. I’m going to follow Senior Juliet, so you do well. Got it?”
She widened her eyes and wished me success before following Juliet out the door.
‘No, after drawing all this attention and then leaving, what am I supposed to do…’
People’s gazes poured down on me like rain. My brothers looked at me with shining eyes, and even the people from Elysiano Class focused on me.
“I am, the person I would like to ask for brotherly affection is…”
Just then.
“It’s mine!”
“I said it’s mine!”
“Why are you always coveting my food!”
“You’re the one coveting what I caught first!”
The beastman twin princes of Waynes started fighting.
Jin said “Stop, stop,” and separated the two.
“It’s an important moment, so let’s save the brotherly fighting for later. Okay?”
“Do you want to die, West?!”
“You die, you stupid East!”
“I said stop it. East, you’re the older brother, so give in to your younger brother a little.”
Jin took the glass the two had been fighting over from East’s hand and handed it to West, the younger brother.
West received the glass while snorting angrily, and East’s eyes glowed bright yellow.
“Why does the older brother always have to give in. Why do I always have to be the one to give in.”
“Dude, it’s just one glass of non-alcoholic champagne, why are you so…”
Just as Jin was muttering.
Rumble─
The glasses on the table began to vibrate faintly, then soon CRASH─!! With a sharp bursting sound, the windows started shattering one after another.
“Leblaine!”
Henri wrapped around me, and Isaac quickly put up a barrier to block the fragments.
“Kyaaah─!”
“Run! It’s beast transformation!”
What?
Startled, I looked at East who was beginning to transform from Henri’s embrace.
Growling and baring his fangs, East soon transformed into a giant wolf and howled.
West, the younger brother holding the champagne glass, said restlessly.
“Brother, I’ll give it to you. Don’t be angry! Don’t be angry!”
The giant wolf East, glaring at West with bright yellow eyes, opened his mouth wide. Just as the startled West flinched and stepped back.
“Stop it!”
Mina wrapped around West.
The chaotic scene felt like it was moving very slowly.
East rushing toward West.
And…
East, who had somehow returned to human form, groaned with a growl, baring his fangs.
“East Waynes. Your Elysiano qualification is revoked.”
This year’s freshman party ended in such a mess.
* * *
The next day, the school was buzzing with the Waynes twins incident.
“He must be crazy. Even if beastmen are late bloomers due to their racial characteristics, they still have reason, right? But he attacked his younger brother over a single glass of champagne? And the Child of Fate got hurt too.”
“If it wasn’t for the Child of Fate, there would have been chaos. I heard Waynes sent an envoy to express their gratitude after hearing the news.”
“Of course they would. The country is already split between the White Wolf and Black Wolf factions, so imagine if the Black Wolf Prince had actually killed the White Wolf Prince. It would have been chaos.”
“In Waynes, they believe white wolves have divine power, right? So wouldn’t West, the White Wolf Prince, have the upper hand? They say West is the first White Wolf Prince born in 500 years.”
“But the eldest son is East, the Black Wolf Prince. That’s why they’re divided into the Black Wolf nobility faction that supports primogeniture and the White Wolf divine faction that believes God’s bloodline should inherit the throne.”
Hearing people chattering as I passed by, I sighed, and Emeline, who was walking with me, clicked her tongue.
“Because of yesterday’s incident, I couldn’t even find a mentor. What a mess.”
“…How is East doing?”
“I heard he’s confined. He might even get expelled.”
“What about West?”
“He seems really scared from yesterday’s incident. They say he’s clinging to Mina and won’t leave her side. …There they are.”
I could see Mina walking with Sandra’s support, and West following Mina around like a puppy.
“Oh, Leblaine.”
Mina waved brightly at me.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Is your shoulder okay?”
“Yes, thank you for worrying. See, West? I told you I’m fine.”
“But, but…”
West fidgeted with his hands restlessly, his face pale.
“I’m still going to stay with you. We’ll eat together too.”
“You said you eat with the Elysiano Class people.”
“Mina can come too. If I ‘permit’ it, Mina can pass through the Elisiano Barrier too!”
“But I’m with my friends…”
When Mina glanced over, Sandra and the freshmen waved their hands dismissively.
“You can’t miss such a great opportunity because of us!”
“That’s right. Go have a meal with West.”
Mina sighed, saying “I guess I have no choice,” then spoke to West.
“What’s on the menu?”
“Meat!”
“I love meat.”
“Wow─!”
Mina chuckled and looked at me.
“Leblaine, do you want to come too? Your brothers are there, right?”
“It’s a bit awkward to accept an invitation from brothers.”
“Then how about West invites Leblaine too? That’s fine, right West?”
“If Mina’s okay with it, let’s do that!”
“Let’s go together, Leblaine.”
At Mina’s words, I shook my head.
“I have plans.”
“Really…? I had something I wanted to share with you… Well, it can’t be helped then.”
As I walked past Mina, Emeline followed with quick steps and asked.
“Where are you going?”
“To East.”
“What are you going to do there? Besides, you can’t even go. East is under the Elysiano Class’s custody. If you get your brothers’ help this time, there’ll be talk.”
“I don’t need my brothers’ help.”
“What?”
“You go eat. You’re going to Princess Juliet, right?”
“Well, yes… Geez, it seems like you don’t plan to tell me. Fine. Take care.”
Emeline stopped walking and waved her hand, and I nodded and headed toward my destination.
My destination. That is, to 4th Year Class A.
I went to the Class A classroom and knocked on the door while saying.
“Hayton, come out.”
“…What?”
“There’s something you need to help me with.”
“Yesterday you barely acknowledged me, and now you’re asking for help? Do I look like a pushover to you?”
“If you’ve taken that much of my money, you should show some gratitude.”
Hayton frowned deeply.
“Who would recognize you as a noble young lady? They’d see you as a loan shark.”
“You’re sworn siblings with Princess Gahong from the Elysiano Class, so you can enter where East is confined, right? Take me there.”
“…”
Hayton, who had been looking at me with narrowed eyes, let out a deep sigh.
“Fine, let’s go. How could I ever win against you.”
─He said.
